Avengers Look-alikes

Post by Avenger14 »

I'm not sure if this is the right board to post on for this topic but anyway, I was thinking about Avenger look alikes.

Everytime I see Hugh Dennis, he makes me tihnk of Patrick MacNee

Does anyone else notice the resemblance?

My mum has also said in the past that the woman who plays 'Janine' in Eastenders looks a little like Dianna Rigg

I can sort of see that myself.

What do you think? do you know of anyone else who might look like anyone from the Avengers?

Hugh Dennis has never crossed my mind as a Pat lookalike, not remotely.

However, I did read an interview with Rachael Stirling that people shout "Janine!" to her in the street, so there may be something in what you say.

I've mentioned the Barbara Shelley/Diana Rigg resemblance before.

I guess it's not the best picture to judge by but it was the best I could find :?

I can't see any resemblance between Pat and Hugh. My Dad thinks that Diana looks like a female version of Cliff Richard. I'm not sure I can see that one either!

I've always thought Purdey and Patsy Stone looked rather alike!

Yes. When we watched her in "Boy Meets Girl" we noticed a resemblance to Charlie Brooks.

Am I alone in looking at that picture of Diana and thinking of Richard Beckinsale?

Every parent has a favorite child. Usually the child belongs to the neighbors.
